A team from University of Toronto Engineering is the first to synthesize long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) outside the cell—a new approach to drug discovery that has already yielded some promising ...

RNA in cells performs an astounding number of functions. Messenger RNA carries the sequences of active genes to cellular machinery that turns it into proteins. And transfer RNA molecules are an ...

Researchers engineered the first RNA-based NAND gate in living cells using deep learning and Bayesian optimization, testing ...

RIKEN researchers have discovered how an enzyme modifies gene expression by targeting certain stretches of messenger RNA ...

Fred Hutch researchers invent a CRISPR screening method to understand RNA-binding proteins often mutated in cancer and other diseases In biology’s standard tale of two acids — deoxyribonucleic (DNA) ...

Scientists have discovered that some tiny segments of RNA thought to be junk instead have a functional role in suppressing production of certain messenger RNAs and appear to help cells respond to ...

The function of non-coding RNA in the cell has long been a mystery to researchers. Unlike coding RNA, non-coding RNA does not produce proteins – yet it exists in large quantities. A research team from ...

Endogenous RNA is central to protein control and, ultimately, cellular function. Synthetic RNA is an important tool for biological research and is also offering a new generation of promising ...

A team of researchers led by Dr. Kim V. Narry, director of the Center for RNA Research at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), has uncovered a key cellular mechanism that affects the function of ...
